Fresh Raspberry-Quinoa Pancakes image

These pancakes are lighter than those in your standard stack: slender and slightly crisp on the outside, light and lacy with assertive raspberry flavor. The raspberries are blended into the milk before being added to the batter-a solution to having pockmarks of berry flavor only here and there. You'll want a mile-high pile.

Yield 10 (5- to 6-inch/12.5- to 15-centimeter) pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup (4 ounces/120 grams) quinoa flour
1/4 cup (1 ounce/50 grams) granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (6 ounces/180 milliliters) milk
8 tablespoons (4 ounces/120 grams) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled, plus more for greasing the skillet
2 large eggs
1 cup (5 ounces/150 grams) fresh raspberries, plus more for garnish
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup (3 ounces/90 grams) cooked quinoa
Salted butter, at room temperature, for serving
Maple syrup or Honey, for serving
Greek yogurt, for serving

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • 2. In a blender, purée the milk, butter, eggs, raspberries, and vanilla until the raspberries are broken down.
  • 3. Whisk the raspberry mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir in the quinoa. Heat a medium nonstick skillet or a nonstick griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter. Use a 1/4 cup measure to scoop the batter onto the skillet. Cook until the batter begins to bubble and the edges of the pancakes look opaque and set, about 3 minutes. Flip the pancakes over and cook until steam begins to escape through the pores in the pancakes, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
  • 4. Top with butter and honey or a dollop of Greek yogurt and syrup or honey.
